Want to sleep 2 hours per day and perform better than on 8 hours?
Want to increase fat-loss by 300% with just a few bags of ice?
Want to produce 15-minute female orgasms?
I've been waiting for this book for at least two years, and I'm actually surprised that the author, Tim Ferriss, is mentioned so rarely here on TL. I know that this almost sounds too good to be true, but this author is legit, and these are only 3 chapters out of more than 50 in his upcoming book, The 4-Hour Body. I urge you to check it out!
From the back cover:
THINNER, BIGGER, FASTER, STRONGER… which 150 pages will you read?
Is it possible to:
Reach your genetic potential in 6 months?
Sleep 2 hours per day and perform better than on 8 hours?
Lose more fat than a marathoner by bingeing?
Indeed, and much more. This is not just another diet and fitness book.
The 4-Hour Body is the result of an obsessive quest, spanning more than a decade, to hack the human body. It contains the collective wisdom of hundreds of elite athletes, dozens of MDs, and thousands of hours of jaw-dropping personal experimentation. From Olympic training centers to black-market laboratories, from Silicon Valley to South Africa, Tim Ferriss, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 4-Hour Workweek, fixated on one life-changing question:
For all things physical, what are the tiniest changes that produce the biggest results?
Thousands of tests later, this book contains the answers for both men and women.
From the gym to the bedroom, it’s all here, and it all works.
YOU WILL LEARN (in less than 30 minutes each):
- How to lose those last 5-10 pounds (or 100+ pounds) with odd combinations of food and safe chemical cocktails.
- How to prevent fat gain while bingeing (X-mas, holidays, weekends)
- How to increase fat-loss 300% using temperature manipulation
- How Tim gained 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days, without steroids, and in four hours of total gym time
- How to sleep 2 hours per day and feel fully rested
- How to produce 15-minute female orgasms
- How to triple testosterone, double sperm count, and (literally) have sex like a porn star
- How to go from running 5 kilometers to 50 kilometers in 12 weeks
- How to reverse permanent injuries
- How to add 150+ pounds to your lifts in 6 months
- How to pay for a beach vacation with one hospital visit
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There are more than 50 topics covered, all with real-world experiments, many including more than 200 test subjects.
You don’t need better genetics or more discipline. You need immediate results that compel you to continue.
That’s exactly what The 4-Hour Body delivers.

Mods!:
I know this sounds like advertising, but I am really just ecstatic and want to share this great book and limited deal with everyone else on TL. Tim Ferriss' blog has helped and entertained me so much over the past years. If anything is crossing the line, I'd truly appreciate it if you could just edit it out instead of closing the thread. Thanks!
I look forward to updating this thread with more news as the release date draws closer. Also, who pre-ordered the book?
THINK IT'S BS?
As I haven't read the book (obviously), I can't guarantee that this is "the real deal." The only thing I can base it off of is the author's record so far. His previous book, The 4-Hour Workweek, has been a #1 New York Times Bestseller, a #1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller, and a #1 BusinessWeek Bestseller. It has so far been published in 35 languages.
The author, Tim Ferriss, was nominated as one of Fast Company’s “Most Innovative Business People of 2007. Wired magazine has called Tim “The Superman of Silicon Valley” for his manipulation of the human body. He is a tango world record holder, former national kickboxing champion (Sanshou), guest lecturer at Princeton University, and faculty member at Singularity University, based at NASA Ames Research Center. When not acting as a human guinea pig, Tim enjoys speaking to organizations ranging from Nike to the Harvard School of Public Health.
According to him, this book is based on self-experimentation he started when he was eighteen, taking careful notes of things that worked and things that didn't. Over the past three years, he has been dealing with experts and researchers. He has also asked all kinds of people to test out his guides, because he wants them to be for everybody.
I visit his blog regularly, and the amazing things I see there convince me that this isn't a sham. For example, the "gain[ing] 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days, without steroids, and in four hours of total gym time" guide actually started out as a blog post, although he didn't give many details. Polyphasic sleep (I'm guessing that's what the "sleep hour and feel totally rested" guide is about) has also been discussed on his blog as well.
You decide if this is real or not. If you think that he can rise to such a status with scams, well then, he must be the best scammer in the world.
Especially the obvious ones
